CCTV Security Systems Perth

Yes! You will have CCTV remote access, so you can watch your live feed of where you system is monitoring wherever you are. This is provided that you have both an internet connection to your CCTV and a smart mobile where you can download the relevant CCTV remote viewing app. Our installers will connect and set this all up for you when you come to us for an installation. 

Some CCTV systems will be able to work without the internet, however a wifi CCTV camera may not be shut off from additional features and functions such as smart alerts when someone is detected at your property. Our NVR security camera systems will be able to record locally to your NVR even in the case that there is no wifi, or your wifi gets disconnected. However, you will require a CCTV camera internet connection to access your live feed footage from your phone or another portable smart device.

An IP Network Camera is a digital surveillance device that transmits and receives data over the internet or a network, unlike traditional analog cameras which are limited to lower resolutions. It offers high-definition footage, much clearer than analog systems. These cameras can be part of a system that includes a Network Video Recorder (NVR), which records and stores the footage, often accessible remotely. Although more expensive than analog, IP cameras provide superior image quality and the flexibility of viewing the camera feed from anywhere with internet access, making them a great choice for modern, thorough surveillance.

When you're choosing a CCTV camera, just like any camera, the number of megapixels (MP) is pretty important. Megapixels are all about the camera's resolution, which is like how clear and detailed your pictures or videos will be. But the number of megapixels you need depends on where you're going to put the camera and what you're going to use it for. For example, if you need to capture images at night, cameras with lower resolutions (fewer megapixels) can sometimes do a better job.

The image quality of a CCTV system is affected by two main things:

Camera Capture Quality: This is measured in megapixels. The more megapixels, the clearer your image.
NVR (Network Video Recorder) Recording and Output: This is about how the video is stored and displayed. It's measured in both megapixels and video formats like 1080P HD or 4K UHD.
Now, when we talk about resolution, a 5MP CCTV system isn't as clear as a 6MP system. That means if something's far away, it might not look as sharp. A 5-megapixel image has more than double the detail of a 1080P full HD image, but 6-megapixel cameras are even better, giving you 50% more clarity than 4MP cameras. Although 6MP cameras cost more, they give you really high-quality images. They're three times more detailed than Full HD 1080p and keep a nice 16:9 aspect ratio, which is like the shape of most TV and computer screens.

But, remember, if you go for a higher resolution like 6MP or 8MP, it means you'll need more internet bandwidth and storage space because the files are bigger.

8MP CCTV cameras are the ideal choice for really clear, detailed images, but they do cost more and need more storage and bandwidth. Need any assistance with what resolution to choose? Contact us and our friendly and knowledgeable staff will help get you sorted.

The presence of a CCTV camera for your home or business doesn’t just act as an effective deterrent against intruders while you’re indoors; your CCTV surveillance camera is also able to monitor your property and provide a live feed to give you peace of mind even when you’re outside. 

The recorded video feed will enable you to analyse activities around the premises on a daily or weekly basis. The smart analytics of these systems can also be used to set off an alarm on a trigger whenever any suspicious activity is detected. 

In the case of an incident, you can also increase the chances that the culprit is identified and action can be taken, as you can hand in your recordings to the police (and later to your insurer, for insurance purposes). 

One day, he has a suspicion that one of his customers have been acting funny, that they have been shoplifting in-store. With his CCTV’s live feed footage, he is able to check the previously recorded live footage to see who has been attempting to break in and send the footage to police, which led to the culprit’s arrest. This is how a CCTV camera system works for store owners. CCTV security cameras should be placed in a spot that captures customers entering the store and paying at the register. 

The camera of a CCTV captures visual and audio information, which it then sends to a recording device like a DVR (for analog) or a NVR (for digital). Which can then be recorded onto a hard drive. You’ll be able to see this broadcast feed from any computer, iphone or android device.
